What would it take for Microsoft to win you over?

Pretty much this, although games and friends lists would keep Xbox in the fold regardless. My "main", if such thing exists, will still likely be Xbox as long as their multiple system profile syncing continues to work as it does today.
LMAO
My point is, exclusives that panders to my tastes :)
I can see me buying a NextBox if they really start pumping out stuff like the Horizon-esque new Fable by PlayGround (assuming we are talking about an Action RPG).
Also, if they buy CD Projekt RED I will have no choice so there is that
Lost odyssey 2
after star wars license expires from EA have obsidian do another KOTOR
just give me all those good RPGs again!!!!!!

Microsoft has to do one thing for me to buy their next console:
Release a new Fable and don't bring it to pc. But in all likelyhood if they bring out a new one they'll bring it for pc, so I'll just play it there.

Primarily games, though power is nice. I'm looking forward to seeing how MS's new acquisitions play out, but I think we'll be waiting a few more years before those really bear fruit.
I'm already fairly on board with them. It's my console of choice in terms of feature set, and the exclusives it has also tends to click with me far more than Sony's style. I'll likely end up playing most of my multiplatforms on whichever console is the strongest though, so the next Xbox being the most powerful would probably be the most important for me to primarily game on it.
With how Poland cherishes that developer I don't see that happening. CD PJ RED has helped put Poland on the map for un-tapped talent.
Lack of exclusive games I want to play is the main reason I've barely touched my XB1 this gen except as a Blu-ray/streaming box.
Even with their exclusives coming to PC now, I don't think I've played any of them there.
Lost interest in Halo, haven't been into Gears since 2, and was never a fan of the Forza games which doesn't leave me with much.
I mainly keep my XB1S in case I ever want to play a backward compatible game (the few that aren't on PC like Crackdown 1 or Fable 2) and for the Rare Replay Collection and MCC (God I wish they'd bring both of those to PC).
Only Microsoft exclusives I still have a little interest in playing are Recore, Halo Wars 2, and Crackdown 3.

There is nothing Microsoft can do to win me back at this point. I used to game on pc and 360. My 360 red-ringed 3 times and then they told me that I would have to pay to get it repaired. I also had a bunch of games on GFWL, and that was a complete fiasco. Now I own a ps4 and Switch, and I wouldn't buy a pc game from Microsoft's app store if my life depended on it. Horrible company honestly.
None of the those options would win me over.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

Game Pass is fucking incredible. I've always been a Sony boy (for obvious reasons) I finally got a BoneX and was blown away by gamepass, it's so satisfying to have a full swath of games right out the gate.
If Sony does this with PS5, it's probably game over.

Never happening. Their whole outlook is having xbox as a platform not tied to specific hardware. Hence xCloud getting a big push, and them soon hopefully going all in on PC with gamepass etc.
Im already onboard regardless, I've been a part of their ecosystem for a long time and I have a great digital collection. Plus I'm loving the direction they are going with Game Pass
Those poll results, lol. Probably not super indicative of the bigger market, but I think we can consider ourselves influencers, so MS should know what's up.
I moved over from 360 to PS4, not because of teh graphix or the price or the Kinect (though all of them made it easier), but well before the next gen consoles were even announced, because of the exclusives.
Microsoft starts releasing big budget singleplayer exclusives, I'm right back.

If they put out high quality single player games without any microtransactions and whatnot over a period of several years I might consider a box, however it's a very hard sale for me considering the shit they pulled off in the 2000s regarding paid FUD against linux and balmer calling it for cancer. When you have a company that toxic I tend to stay away from it if possible.
Now if they made xbox it's own separate company completely outside of microsoft it would be much more palpable.
But yeah, software is always king when it comes to games, all the other stuff is just fluff.

Software is king, couldn't put it better myself.
I bought the Xbox One for Halo MCC and Halo 5. Both were how I felt about the Xbox One.

I want the most powerful machine, period. I can afford a PS5 just for the exclusives for that system
Considering my favourite type of games are jrpgs, platformers and narrative driven single player games I've made peace at this stage that Microsoft are never likely to have enough for my tastes.
Not require a stable 24/7 internet connection. I can accept having to check in online occasionally but if they boot me out of games because my connection was lost briefly then I can live without Xbox. Big fan of the Xbox ecosystem so they just need to make sure they don't do a monumental fuck-up like that.
There's not much reason *for me* to invest in one of their consoles since all of their first party titles are getting PC versions. I sold my XB1X a month ago which I bought last summer and probably turned it on 5 times.
They're getting my money one way or another.

When it comes to their Console i will never buy one from them ever again.
They have technically a PC Store now and if it were a good one i could play the few games that are worth to own on there.
Playstation will always have their library full of 3rd Party (Japanese) games that will never make it onto other platforms and some maybe make it not even onto PC without a longer wait.
It also has a huge library of AAA Exclusives and provide them usually over a whole Gen.
Playstation will also always have the bigger Multiplayer Base for certain games focuses more on Europe or aren't shooters in general and for them i would play on PC anyway too.
You basically need the Playstation to experience a certain set of games especially from different Genres.
You don't need a Xbox anymore because you can simply get their couple games a Gen on PC and there even with cheap Keys saving a lot of money.

Not enough choices there. All consoles have plenty of content. My #1 platform is based on the best controller since I'm using the controller in 100% of games I'm playing.
The problem now for me is the amount of money I have invested digitally in the ps4. So if Sony offers backwards compatibility there is zero point in moving over even if there is a power difference in favour of Microsoft.
If Sony don't offer backwards compatibility and Microsoft do however, then that's a different ball game.
